Happy 7/11! As always, those with access to a participating 7-Eleven location can help them celebrate the occasion by picking up a free Slurpee. The forecast calls for it to hit 93 °F today in these parts, so I have a feeling a lot of locals will be availing themselves of this offer.

I went to the movie theater the other week for Green Lantern, and figured I'd get a cherry Icee since I haven't had one in a while. It was white and tasted a little funny.

I have and odd semi-related beverage experience. I stopped by a McDonalds to grab a vanilla latte once. I was on my way home, so I didn't take a sip of it until I got home. When I took my first sip, something wasn't right. I couldn't quite figure it out, so I took another sip. Sometimes they forget the vanilla, but that wasn't it. This time they not only forgot the vanilla, they forgot the coffee, so all I had was a cup of steamed milk.
